    Summary
    Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell motility in response to calcium ion; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and sperm axoneme assembly. Located in cytoskeleton; nucleus; and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human SPAG16 (sperm associated antigen 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. In this work, we performed a quantitative analysis of the expression of Spag6 and Spag16 genes in parallel with the immune-localization of the proteins in several tissues of adult mice.
      Title: Distribution of sperm antigen 6 (SPAG6) and 16 (SPAG16) in mouse ciliated and non-ciliated tissues.
    2. The distinct nuclear localization of SPAG16S and its ability to modulate Spag16L mRNA expression suggest that SPAG16S plays an important role in the gene expression machinery of male germ cells.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate 5'-most exon in the 5' UTR and lacks a portion of the 5' coding region compared to variant 1. These differences cause translation initiation at a downstream AUG and result in an isoform (2; also known as Spag16S) with a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
